    Fun place to remind everyone that the elder scrolls six teaser video is over 6 years old now too.

      Mine are hopeful. I expect GTA Online to still be shit, but I hope that the main story is good. Considering it’s rockstar, then it should be a pretty proper game story wise. But we’ll just have to wait and see.

    Then there’s Star Citizen… Eternity isn’t that long, is it?

    Then your ship fails to launch and you need to do emergency repairs and when you come back to Earth the only version of GTA6 you can play is a shitty remaster.

    This makes me curious. There have to be sci fi stories out there where instead of cryostasis, people are just moved really fast or put in high gravity environments to make time move slower for them

      That’s a major part in the Ender’s Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it’s like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.

      The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.

        Oh true! I haven’t read Ender’s Game in years, and I only read the first book. Thanks for the reminder I should re-read.

        But I’m also specifically curious about sci fi franchises where the slowdown of time is intentional as a way to preserve people, it sounds like a cool premise, and with the mountain of sci fi material I imagine it’s probably been done somewhere

      Do you mean the astronauts on the ocean planet? No. They are experiencing time correctly, they won’t die of old age until much later than earth.

      Gravity does weird shit to time.

        I think they’re joking that even with the accelerated passage of time on earth relative to them they would still die of old age before GTA VI releases

          So… If I’m understanding that right, and I die on this planet of old age (not the giant planet wide tidal wave) given the current life expectancy of men, we’re looking at 40 years or about 350k hours. So 2,450,000 years would have passed on Earth.

          Yeah sounds about right.

    GTA once was great as sublime satire with a blend of all kinds of cultural references coincided with the technical ability to make an immersive world.

    Nowadays it edges towards saints row, with the latter bring more creative
